Armed and Ready!

Today, after school I had numerous errands to run :

• The dreaded Wal-Mart (I hate it, but if I waited another day, I would have been reduced to roasting marshmellows for dinner)
• Post Office
• WaWa for gas, so I could get home!
• The bank to cash a check Michael and I had received from Wilmington University

The last of these bullets, I knew was going to be interesting. The check was written out in Michael's name, and even though my name is also on the account, I remember, and you probably do to, that this basically means nothing. BUT this time I came prepared. I walked into the bank, signed the check and took it to the nearest teller. At first, I didn't think she was going to say anything, but then, she did the double take. She said,"Oh, we have a problem, the check is in Michael's name." And I said, yes, I know, he is in Iraq, and unable to sign it. Again, "Oh, well..." Then BAM, I didn't even give her a chance, I whipped out the Power of Attorney I have been reduced to carry around with me, 'just in case.' The check was then cashed without incident.

Score one for the army wife.
